Headlights on an empty road

G              D
Late night, I'm all alone

Ghost clouds and blowin' dust

Radio keeps me company

Doesn't care that I'm flyin' by,

Truck stop coffee and blood shot eyes

G                D
Wait for dawn to light the sky
[Chorus]
Em      G            D
And I'm on my way to you

Should have been there yesterday

I left behind three days ago

Arrow straight interstate

bye, diesel smoke

Off ramps and neon signs

French fries and pecan pie

D                Am
High noon I turn on our street

G                D
See our roof and the maple tree

D                      Am
Hit the air brakes and blow my horn

G                      D
You and the kids'll be waitin' for me

D              Am
Climb down and walk to the porch

G                D
Peer through the old screen door

D                    Am
House is quiet and I see no one

G                D
Wonder what this note is for
[Chorus]
Em    G            D
I was on my way to you

Em    G            D
Should have been here yesterday

Em    G            D
I was on my way to you

Em    G            D
Could have been here yesterday
Em G D (slowing to end)
